In a recent public opinion poll by Alpha Research, 46% of Bulgarians have a positive attitude, while 17% a negative one towards the EU. A total of 1050 Bulgarian adults were surveyed.
According to the survey, 32% say that the EU membership brought considerable benefits to the country, but 51% say that nothing much has changed. Those who don't see any benefits are 17%.
In personal aspect, however, the majority of Bulgarians (73%) say the EU membership hasn't changed their lives much.
Those who see the benefits and have an overall positive attitude towards the union are mostly residents of the capital Sofia. Younger and higher educated citizens have a better outlook on the EU.
